Sharing is caring
Three words often used in the world of open source, but with such a beautiful message that they should be shared across our entire globe in these times.
Times that are uncertain. Times when everybody tries to predict what can’t be predicted.
Perhaps times like these need fewer predictions and fewer opinions. Perhaps it’s times like these where it really makes fucking sense to be friendly.
To leave that extra package of toilet paper in the supermarket and instead pass one roll from the package you already got to someone unable to go themselves.
The speed of friendliness
Uncertainty means we don’t know how long these times will last. It could be months, it could be the rest of the year, perhaps even longer.
It’s in times like these that the modern civilization gets under pressure and our reptile brains are screaming to take over. But it’s in times like these that we should all defend the core principles that got us here.
We believe that it starts by being friendly and we believe that the power of friendliness can spread faster than the power of Corona.
